Front Bumper Removal Instructions

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Front bumper

To remove the front bumper, you also need to remove the headlights, so it is advisable to disconnect the battery. Start by removing the trim piece, which is secured with two pins at the base, near the radiator, and two snap tabs at the top. Then proceed to remove the headlights, noting that one of the pins is located under the wing. Once the headlights are removed, disconnect the bulb holders for the indicators and continue with the removal of the bumper fastening pins, releasing it from the side supports and pulling it forward to complete the removal.
